[November 23, 2008]

Beauty, fashion products great idea for women's gifts

(Daily Oklahoman, The Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Nov. 23--For the beauty junkie on your list, "Cosmo's Sexiest Beauty Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Gorgeous," $19.95, serves up insider tips and tricks on everything from alluring lips to DIY pedicures to a flawless complexion.

Aveda's limited-edition Himalayan Glow soy-wax aromatherapy candle helps support the indigenous communities and craftsmanship in Nepal. The candle is infused with organic essential oils of cinnamon, clove and vanilla in a 95 percent post-consumer recycled glass container and packaged in a reusable gift box made with lokta paper from Nepal. $32.

Go online to Aveda.com for a list of local stores.

Here's the solution for frustrated women everywhere who don't know what to do with their 'do when they do the things that they do. Tassi stretch terry cloth loose wrap keeps hair out of your face when washing or applying makeup -- and it doesn't smash your hair, either. $15 at Sooo Lilly and The Paper Lion, Edmond

Give her the chills with Pearl Ice Eye Mask, hand-filled with lime glass beads to properly conduct cold or heat. It rejuvenates the eye contour area, helps de-puff eyes and dark circles, fights jet lag, and relieves eye strain and allergy discomfort. $23 to $26 at Balliet's.

Remember this: Great pajamas should be fashionable as well as functional. A black dot pair is by Simply Vera Vera Wang, available for $48 from Kohl's.

Women who love fashion probably love accessories. Cinch your shopping dilemmas with a great belt, preferably one in zebra or leopard print. Animal print is always in style. $16.99 each from Target.

Sometimes a coat is just too bulky and too heavy. A cape, such as one by Steve Madden for $34 from Macy's, may be the perfect topper.

If Santa can't afford fur-trimmed boots, consider knee-high socks with faux fur at the top. Wear them with boots and you get a similar look for a lot less money. The one-size-fits-all socks by Socks Appeal come in eight different fur trims, from snow leopard to black mink for $39 at Allyson's Closet.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
